Police dog Kaos, who had recovered from being stabbed, has died.

Beloved police dog Kaos from Queensland has passed away at the age of 12. This news comes just a few weeks after he was honored for his exceptional service to the police force. Kaos had captured the hearts of many Australians when he bravely survived a near-fatal stabbing attack while apprehending two suspects in Brisbane on February 2, 2020. Despite being wounded with a 12-centimetre stab wound, the then-seven-year-old German shepherd underwent emergency surgery and made a full recovery.

After weeks of rehabilitation, Kaos was back on the streets of Brisbane, helping to catch countless more suspects before retiring in July 2021. The men responsible for his injuries were charged with serious animal cruelty, among other charges. Kaos spent his final years in the town of Dayboro, living with his handler Senior Constable Jim Griffiths and his family.

Tragically, Kaos passed away unexpectedly at home on Saturday August 10, as announced by the Queensland Police. Just last month, Kaos was recognized for his outstanding service and bravery with a Canine Service Medal. During his seven years with the force, he had helped apprehend numerous offenders. In a statement, the Queensland Police paid tribute to Kaos, describing him as a fierce tracker of offenders but a sweet and gentle soul when off-duty.

During his retirement, Kaos was a regular at his local cafe in Dayboro, where he could often be found basking in the sun and receiving attention from customers. He also visited the Queensland Children's Hospital regularly, bringing joy and love to the sick children with his cuddles. The statement from the Queensland Police also highlighted the strong bond between Kaos and Senior Constable Griffiths, calling them best mates and a formidable team. They also expressed their honor in serving alongside Kaos, who had served with such bravery and dedication.
